The first priority for negotiators trying to establish dialogue with a subject is to gauge the individual's level of fluency in English, and once this has been achieved, negotiators must decide whether to conduct negotiations in English or the subject's native language. Negotiating in English does present some minor problems, but several advantages of negotiating in English generally outweigh the drawbacks. If it is necessary to use a foreign language, a decision must be made on whether to use a negotiator who speaks the subject's language or to use an interpreter to relay information. The advantages and disadvantages of each option and of negotiating in English are outlined, and having a second interpreter for quality control and other additional considerations in such negotiations are discussed. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
